Welcome to the "From Ashes to Empowerment" podcast, where we tackle the tough journey of rebuilding after fire with grace, resilience, and a whole lot of heart. Host Emily Jameson has walked this path not once, but twice, rising from the ashes stronger each time. As a trauma-conscious master certified neurolinguistic programming coach and the creator of RISE, a 12-week coaching program tailored for women rebuilding their lives after fire, she is here to guide you through every step of the way.
We'll dive into practical strategies, mindset shifts, and soulful support to help you navigate the challenges and reclaim your power in the rebuilding process. Join us as we share stories of resilience, wisdom from experts, and empowering tools to ignite your inner flame so that you can rise stronger than ever and transform your loss into a source of strength.
Together, let's rewrite the narrative of rebuilding after fire and create a new chapter filled with hope, healing, and new beginnings.

The Best Thing that Ever Happened To Me featuring Kriste York
15 years ago, Kriste York never guessed she'd be living her dream life. Diagnosed with a brain tumor the size of a lime, she experienced a stroke during surgery which left her unable to walk, much less work, at the age of 36.
Somehow in the middle of all of this, Kriste decided that she wanted this to be the. best thing that ever happened to her. This is her story.
I have had the great joy of knowing Kriste for the past 15 years and through some of my darkest times I have often thought of this resolution that she made and worked to adopt it for myself.
Kriste references Dr. Michael Ungar of the Resilience Research Centre in Canada https://resilienceresearch.org/
and the Center for Digital Storytelling, now known as the Story Center, in Berkeley California https://www.storycenter.org/
